How To Create Your Own Google+ Vanity URL

At present the Google+ profile URLs are awful – both bad looking and impossible to remember. So what happens if you want to share your profile link with others? You need something short and sweet. Luckily gplus.to has the solution you’re looking for. Gplus is a straight forward shortening tool, but its ease of use and no registration required makes it a winner over an existing shortener such as bit.ly. All you need is your Google+ ID, which is that lengthy string of numbers that makes the whole thing ugly, and a name you want displayed in the URL. After that you’re ready to rock.

Google has said that it will be rolling out its own vanity URLs eventually, but this is a clean fix to gain some of that social exposure across the web.
